I’m quite calm and totally rational. I’ll discuss what it says in scripture all day long. If you want to discuss what the Catholic Church has added your on your own but expect to be countered with scripture if it isn’t contained in scripture or contradicts scripture.

I wasn't referring to your citations of Scripture; you're free to do so as often as you like, and I'll read them all, and I won't be bothered in the least (though time limitations may delay my reply, if the quotes are long or numerous). I was referring to your more flippant comments. Let me illustrate, with a hypothetical example.

"Well, then, CynicalBear, make up your own heresy, then. Arius did it, Pelagius did it, and your particular group of Evangelicals did it."
In addition, look at this one:

Im honestly not trying to be difficult
[CynicalBear]
Sure you are.
That's what the RM calls "mind-reading", I think. You have no call, whatsoever, to say that I'm "trying to be difficult" when I flatly said that I wasn't, and that I was simply trying to get at the truth.
I'm not the type to ring the bell for the RM at every turn... but I can't help notice that your post to me is PRECISELY the type of post which, if I wrote it to you (or one of your confreres), you'd be "pinging" the RM in a heartbeat. Try reading your past comment again; they address me (the messenger) rather than the message, and they dismiss me as one who would be someone whom you'd invite to "create a false religion"; they're not logical at all.
Sorry, FRiend... you did bad, here... and your citations of Scripture are not the issue.
